Use \switchtobodyfont to switch to a different font.
With your font settings context expects predefined lists with links to the font
files (from symbolic names, e.g. \rm, \ss, \tf, \it etc. to the real files) but
in my example below you can see a method (specserif and specsans) which does
what you expect but i didn’t use it for Minion and Myriad because the system
isn’t perfect yet and you get unwanted results.

See my example, i set the font switch with \starttextbox or to be true with
\framed[foregroundstyle={...}].
\definepapersize[card][width=792pt,height=612pt]
\setuppapersize[card][card]
\definetypeface[impact][rm][specserif][Impact] [default]
%\definetypeface[minion][rm][specserif][Minion Pro][default] % This does not
produce the desired result,
%\definetypeface[myriad][ss][specsans] [Myriad Pro][default] % therefore i load
the adobe typescripts
\usetypescriptfile[type-adobe]
\definetypeface[minion][rm][serif][minion][default]
\definetypeface[myriad][ss][sans] [myriad][default]
\definecolor[red][c=0,m=.87,y=.87,k=0]
\definelayer[textbox][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=textbox]
\def\starttextbox
{\dosingleargument\dostarttextbox}
\def\dostarttextbox[#1]%
{\def\stoptextbox{\setlayerframed[textbox][width=6cm,align=normal,frame=off,#1]{\getbuffer[textbox]}}%
\startbuffer[textbox][starttextbox][stoptextbox]}
\starttext
\starttextbox[x=195.3pt,y=115.2pt,width=560.7pt,foregroundstyle={\switchtobodyfont[impact,48pt]},align=middle]
